It’s a backend flag or a glitch in the review system. Try pausing the campaign, duplicating it, and relaunching, worked for me a couple times.

That's incredibly frustrating when you get a "delivery error" despite a clean account! You're definitely not alone; platforms are constantly tightening their automated review systems. Often, these errors point to a subtle policy violation (even in your landing page or creative) or a flag from their AI that isn't immediately obvious. Double-check all ad policies, review the specific error details, and consider reaching out to their support for more clarity on the exact reason

If it is an old account with a spending history, please check your fanpage, payment card or campaign.

That “delivery error” strikes more often than you’d think—even on spotless accounts—because it’s really Facebook’s catch-all for anything that’s blocking an ad from ever entering the auction. In my experience it usually boils down to one of two things: either the payment method or spending limit on your Business Manager isn’t quite cleared for that new campaign, or your targeting and budget settings are so narrow (or your bid so low) that Facebook can’t find eligible impressions.

I ran into this last month when I spun up a clean ad account to test a new creative, and despite having a fresh card on file, the campaign sat in “Not Approved (Delivery Error)” until I bumped up the daily budget and expanded my audience by a few hundred thousand people. Once I did, it leapt straight into review and then into delivery.

What you can do right now is double-check your billing threshold in Business Settings, make sure your daily or lifetime budget meets the minimum for your objective, and open up your audience or bid so Facebook has room to work. If all of that looks solid and you still see “delivery error,” hit up the “Chat with Support” link in Ads Manager, ask them to inspect the ad set’s delivery diagnostics, and they can often spot a hidden block (like a suppressed placement or a flagged payment method). Once you clear that hurdle, your campaign should finally go live.

sometimes it may be because your page or ip has been flagged, you can try to replace them

Try switching to a new payment card or new page

Have you contacted the agents on the forum for support?

If it's an old account with a clean spending history, replace the new profile, check the page and the payment card, then create a new campaign.

Yes, we've seen this issue happen from time to time - especially when Facebook's AI detects something unusual, even if the account has a clean history.
Sometimes it helps to duplicate the campaign or change the creative slightly before relaunching.

Delivery errors even though the account is clean are often related to the issue of ad content, landing page or previous behavior of pixel/BM , not the main account. The campaign evaluation system may contain sensitive elements, or coincide with past violation behavior patterns from IP, page, domain... You should try changing the angle, adjusting the creative or completely cloning a new campaign on another BM to test. This error is not rare, but handling it requires patience and testing each element carefully.

it's annoying to get that error this error is often happening lately due to the tightening of Meta's review system you just need to double check your policy scope and other specifics if not or change to a new account

Change payment card and create new ad

This happens a lot lately — especially with clean, aged accounts.
From what I’ve seen on BHW and Reddit, it often happens when:
The account gets a “soft restriction” after too many edits, rejections, or flagged payments
Meta’s system thinks the account might’ve been compromised (even if clean)
Most people report the fix is to wait 24–72h — sometimes delivery resumes on its own. In urgent cases, duplicating the campaign into a fresh ad account often works.

This account is not suitable for running your campaign, you should switch to a new account.

This error is often caused by a system glitch or mistaken flagging, especially with new accounts. Try setting up a new campaign or slightly adjusting the creative. If it still doesn’t work, it’s best to contact support for a closer look.

Check asset links (post/URL)
Schedule ahead 24–48h
Broaden audience + moderate budget
Start with engagement before conversion
Or duplicate ad in fresh account
